Metallica have added new European dates to their M72 World Tour. Zurich is also on the schedule. The US metal pioneers will be playing a concert at Letzigrund Stadium in 2026. The show promises a special set-up and songs spanning all phases of the band's history. On May 27, the band will play exclusively at Letzigrund Stadium in Zurich. With them: Gojira and Knocked Loose. Tickets are on sale from May 30, 2025 at 10:00 am.
Metallica are adding new European dates to their current M72 World Tour. For fans in Switzerland, there is a chance: on May 27, 2026, the band will play exclusively at Letzigrund Stadium in Zurich. This date in Zurich is one of the few stops in German-speaking countries. The tour accompanies the studio album "72 Seasons", which was released in April 2023.
Metallica have been on the road for over 40 years, but they remain powerful live. Hits such as "Nothing Else Matters", "Master of Puppets" and "Seek and Destroy" are an integral part of the set, complemented by songs from the current album "72 Seasons". The result: a sound that combines past and present.
Since its launch in 2023, the M72 Tour has relied on a special live set-up. The stage is in the middle, the audience around it. In other words, a 360-degree view. This creates closeness and distributes the energy evenly throughout the stadium. In Zurich, there is no "No Repeat Weekend" (two concert evenings in each city with completely different setlists), but just one single concert evening. A compact set with classics and new songs will be played - without repetitions, but with full force.
Gojira support Metallica and provide depth with their mix of technical groove metal and environmental activism. And Knocked Loose, one of the rawest hardcore bands on the current scene, will be on stage. The combination of all three bands covers several subgenres and appeals to a broad metal audience.
The public pre-sale starts on May 30, 2025 at 10:00 am. If you want to see Metallica live, you should be quick. Experience has shown that tickets will sell out quickly, especially with only one date in Switzerland.
